Vinyl albums, which had UK sales of three million last year, will continue their remarkable resurgence in 2017, approaching $1 billion (£0.81 billion) sales globally for the first time this millennium.
But the peak for tablet devices may be over, with sales this year likely be fewer than 165 million units, down by approximately 10 per cent from the 182 million units snapped up in 2016.
Meanwhile biometric security such as fingerprint authentication will increasingly be used to drive engagement and sales, with the active base of fingerprint reader-equipped devices likely top one billion for the first time.
